or disintegrable, often termed soluble in,

ater. V I have discovered that the resultant compound makes a peculiarly effective medicine for external use when combined under proper conditions.

I conduct the manufacture by stages,

making two solutions having certain elements separately dissolved in each, and afterward combining What I shall term the solutions. The followingis' a description of "what I consider the best means of making the separate solutions. The first solution A is produced by dissolving or disintegrating in three quarts of distilled W2tt-9I,- zinc sulfate (ZnSOJH O) in its ordinary commercial formof crystals, thirteen and one half ounces and potassium hyposulfite (K S UQ fiveand one half ounces. To make the other solution B I add to three quarts of distilled Water,-potassium sulfid (K four and one half ounces.

After both solutionshave been produced by completely dissolving the materials, or in more exact'language disintegrating all the solid matter, the combining of the two liquids is commenced and continued. by

adding to solution A small quantities of solution B at short intervals with much shaking or stirrin A good a paratus for this purpose may is a churn. lt should be set apart to be used solely for this work. During the mixing of thetwo solutions the zinc sulfate changes very rapidly into z inc sulfid (71nd) and is the principal ingredient of the finished product. The change of the Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed April 16, 1908. Serial No. 427,336.

(Specimdns potassium sulfid into potassium sulfate (K 80 is slightly slower. Potassium hy osulfite is added as a bleach but it soon oses its identity becoming otassium sulfate.

by small installments to solution A and intimately mixed therewith by continuous I and active agitation I add a small quantity, say ten'drops, of oil of rose geranium, and

after this I add water enough to make the whole mixture measure two gallons.

, The lotion is now ready for use, storage, or shipment. It should be labeled For external use and must be Well shaken before each use. to the skin, preferably without rubbing. It should be allowed to dry thereon. bottle should not be allowed to remain long When solution B has men all added The The lotion is applied gently uncorked. I find exposure to the air at any temperature induces a darkening of the color. I believe this to be due to a'change of the potassium hyposulfite into sulfate. My experiments indicate that .it will remain practically unchanged for long periods. I

elieve it will endure-any plimate if kept corked.

I claim as my invention: 1. The herein-described process of making a toilet lotion consisting in gradually combining an aqueous solution of potassium sulfid with an aqueous solution ojl" zinc sul fate and of potassium hyposul'fite in about the proportions stated.

2. The toilet lotion herein described composed of an aqueous mixture of zirilcsulfid and otassium sulfate, and havi 1g the ofiensive odor therefrom modified by a suitable perfume.
